Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 4522947, member: 3517"] I think part of this defense “regression” is our staff trying to adjust to the Big East officiating. We got murdered by the refs in the PC and Xavier games and then the staff had to have players dial back their defensive pressure to avoid fouling. We probably need to ramp the pressure back up a bit and find a middle ground. On the flip side, teams like Seton Hall were allowed to drape all over our guards without getting called for fouls. Not blaming all of our issues on the refs because there is a lot of blame to be put on players poor shooting and poor coaching as well. The officials in this league are just wildly inconsistent and it seems we have a handful of large ego refs (guys like James Breeding) doing our games on a regular basis. Hoping we can get back to the defensive efficiency we saw at the beginning of the year. [/QUOTE]
